> Yes the Transition Town is a great idea for this area! Although I wonder which Council would be the most supportive?  I think Lismore or Nimbin might be more suitable areas than Byron??
> 
> As well as the obvious benefits I imagine it could also be used as a tourist drawcard - ie visit the first Sustainable Town in Australia....! (although this title has already been claimed by Yandina on the Sunshine coast in QLD.)
> 
> See their site:  http://www.seac.net.au/main/index.php and look for their “Transition Towns Network�
> 
> The best sources of information for me on this topic have been the UK permaculture magazines - but a bit expensive due to airmail.  A great article recently on the town of Totnes - the first UK town to aim towards sustainability.  
> 
> See their website at:  http://www.transitiontowns.org/Totnes/
> 
> Also "Transition Towns"  a site aiming to provide a focal point for all of towns, villages, cities and localities around the world as they implement their own Transition Initiatives.
